Who can tell me this brand stove...

Im trying to learn of a stove i heard about through the grapevine which has a sealed ashpan (the ashpan has some type of sliding cover to close it up in order that you can walk to the ash bin to dump it i guess?)

I cant wait to know what stove company did this so i can see the quality of the stove that carry's an ashpan with a roll top desk built into it LOL

person who can tell me about this revolutionary ashpan wins.... a cookie!

Craig is correct. The Encore has this. They have had this for about 27 years (1986). Nothing special about it to be honest. Kind of a pain in the ass to use since the ash pan has the tendency to overflow.

I used it a few times this winter. Send Craig the cookies. I'll take a box of protein bars.

Seriously.

wow, surprised it was VC doing this o.0. its does seem like a ridiculous idea... I thought to myself anyone who needs their ashpan to have roll top desks prolly should not be using a coal or wood stove LOL

I know you're joking about the roll top, but it's nothing like that. It's more like the ash buckets you see with a lid.



It's just a flat lid you put over the ash pan that is suppose to prevent ash from flying around as your transport it outside.

great reply browning, i was told this particular stove has a sliding roll top desk design on the ash pan (but ive never seen it myself so cant be sure), but holy crap i do like the idea of that pic of yours for an ash bin next to my stove o.0!

"pulling out the welder as we speak!"

Some of the Woodstock stoves have a well designed ash pan. I use mine all the time, it sure beats the old shovel and bucket routine imo.

My Jotul Firelight has an ash pan. Works great, until you open the door to go outside and dump it on a very windy winter day.

The cover seems nice in theory, but it's just one more dirty thing to store near the stove.

BK has a decent ash pan with a hinged cover. I used it once, just to say I tried. It is reasonably sized, but that stove is deep, and holds a lot of ash. Too many trips with the pan.

I still

Pfft . . . I love my ash pan.

Enviro on the Kodiak 1200 and 1700 models have a hinged cover for the ash pan that works really well

fairly common, some foilks love the ash pan and others dont,
ymmv

me too on the Oslo. I haven't tried the one on the 30 yet but it looks to be really cumbersome. I may have to go the shovel and bucket route there.

IMO.... Very Cumbersome. The Heat is amazing... Ash pan design, is not

Sounds about right. It should fit right in with the other two stoves.
